Zygophlebia eminens is a species of grammitid fern. It is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1] Its veins are more regularly free than any other Zygophlebia species besides Zygophlebia dudleyi, though some veins may be forked or fused.[2]
